One person is being sent to hospital to receive treatment for unspecified injuries. Westbound traffic in the area is down to one lane. Paramedics, the St. John’s Regional Fire Department and RCMP officers responded to the accident.

Road conditions as of late Wednesday afternoon are dry, though there is drifting snow in some sections.
